{[Dy2(bpdc)3(H2O)3] · H2O}n (bpdc = 2,2′-bipyridine-4,4′-dicarboxylate): A highly-thermostable 3D coordination polymer with unusual mixed-connected network topology

A novel 3D coordination polymer {[Dy2(bpdc)3(H2O)3] · H2O}n (bpdc = 2,2′-bipyridine-4,4′- dicarboxylate) based on inorganic rod-shaped infinite secondary building unit is presented, which possesses unusual mixed-connected network topology and shows high thermal stability and strong photoluminescence at room temperature.

A novel coordination polymer {[Dy2(bpdc)3(H2O)3] · H2O}n has been successfully synthesized through hydrothermal route, which shows unusual mixed-connected network topology as well as high thermal stability and strong fluorescent emission.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slide
